Happy New Year! after a few weeks without roundups I'm back with a fresh round of tweets to start the new year. Well the big news is that Google is including Google+ results into their search results. Well it is news for the mainstream media, predictions and analysis of this happening where all over the net since the release of Google+. What is interesting is Twitter's reaction and the war of words that followed between Google and Twitter. It reminds me of my daughter's arguments with her 10 year old friends. Amusing.

Now you have to join Google+ -> Just One B2B Social Media Reason for Google Plus: Search
This and the tweet below are about the same topic I mentioned in the introduction above. Google added Google+ to the search results. I believe this is great news for businesses, search becomes personal and the results are going to be influenced by what you liked before, what you shared in your circles and what people in your circles have liked and shared as well. The way I see it SEO (search engine optimization) took a whole new meaning and the people that click on your website link in the search results will be a better qualified lead.
